I have observed these guys in the wild: they are big range, fast running
lizards in the wild. A terrarium situation does not seem right for them.

I have not kept collards myself, but from what I know about
them is that collard lizards in the U.S. are usually wild caught,
highly active lizards, that do not acclimate to captivity well. I have
watched these animals in the wild and they are very active lizards,
that I feel would need a very large enclosure.
From what I saw at this show, most of the people attending
were not breeders. If people what to keep and breed herps, I have no
problem with that, as long as they can adequately provide for the
animals in their care. I do have problems with vendors selling
difficult keepers to novice herpers, and presenting them as long term
captives when they are freshly harvested from the wild.

Why are Collared Lizards no good pets? I know a handful of people
keeping and breeding different forms very succesfully. Only problem
is bringing the worminfested dehydrated wild ones back in shape.
Every animal is breedable if one fulfills its ecological and social
requirements.
